Madame Galarde Gets Murdered Murder-Go-Round, a three act play by Jay Christopher, was staged May 13 in the auditorium and was the last presentation of the year for Drama Club members. The cast included five men and three women. The setting was in a Parisian apartment house where every resident was suspected of murdering Madame Galarde. Everyone admitted to hating the victim. Lead actor in the presentation was Mike Lewis, who portrayed Inspector Vidsquelin. a detective. Mr. and Mrs. Kingsmith. an eld- erly couple, was played by Nor- man Prewitt and Sally Loften: Robert Thorn was played by Mike Castellucci, while Marianne Bow- ers played Madeline Sands, a sculptor. Edward Tarry, a playwright, was portrayed by Rod Lucero. Kathy Ophus played Henrietta Nesbitt, an actress, and Parker Beasley was played by Jim Knickerbocker. Chuck and Marcy Poncelow. co- sponsors of the club, said that the humorous dialogue added a lot to the mystery. Sponsors added that suspense mounted when the lights went out at the party held by Miss Nesbitt. The party was attended by all six suspects and a knife was thrown. Poncelows said, “It was an enjoyable, but challenging year. The crowds were tremendous and it was really gratifying to have stu- dents as well as adults come out and support us the way they did this past year.” Beth Blackwell, a Drama Club member said. “I think the Ponce- lows did a lot for the club and we had a better selection of plays this year.” 22 Originality — Drama

The “Grape Crush poster, opposite page bottom, symbolizing the Spartan defense, deco- rated the scoreboard during the Buena Vista football game. Adorning the scoreboard with a poster is a tradition which originated from the Art Club. Another Art Club tradition is the appearance of Purple Doom, left, at pep assem- blies during the football season. In an eerie voice the Doom wishes the Spartans luck during up coming games.
